Did you examine the game again now and found a checkmate? I am just curious. I also didn't see a checkmate during the game, but it is well possible that there was one.
I also missed to get a winning (or at least very good) position against Odnoobraz_bcm (@maestroask):
Here as black 18. ... h3 had been very strong, for example:
18. ... h3 19. Bh1 Bxg5 20. Bxg5 Bf3! 21. Bxf3 Rxf3 (and black controls the white squares; moves like Qg4-f3 or Ne5 might follow soon).
But I don't say white's win was lucky. It is part of the success in chess to recognize given opportunities, and in blitz games I simply miss too many of them and also make too many huge mistakes (I am a slow thinker with bad nerves if it matters), whereas Odnoobraz_bcm plays very constant, solid, fast and in average makes only very few serious mistakes.
That's the whole game:

Yeah I checked it after the tournament. There was a checkmate in 9 moves after 1. Nf6+ Bxf6, but hell i couldn't see it xd
EDIT:
Yeah after 1... h3 black looks soo much better, I personally have problems when trying to create an attack when my opponent has a fianchetto, hate that pawn structure.
And yup, blitz is like that. I had a lot of blunders on this tournament and felt like i wasn't focused at all, I used to consider myself "pretty good" on blitz but hell, I forgot a lot of positions after my years of inactivity and I usually improvise on the fly in all my games haha
Odnoobraz is really amazing tbh, almost all of his moves are incredibly accurate, especially in midgame.
